Let W be a finite group generated by unitary reflections and A be the set of reflecting hyperplanes. We will give a characterization of the logarithmic differential forms with poles along A in terms of anti-invariant differential forms. If…

We present a simple formula for the expected number of inversions in a permutation of size $n$ obtained by applying $t$ random (not necessarily adjacent) transpositions to the identity permutation. More general, for any finite irreducible…

Let $G$ be a discrete Coxeter group, $G^+$ its alternating subgroup and $\tilde{G}^+$ the spinor cover of $G^+$. A presentation of the groups $G^+$ and $\tilde{G}^+$ is proved for an arbitrary Coxeter system $(G,S)$; the generators are…

We determine precisely when the branching coefficients arising from the restriction of irreducible representations of the symmetric group $S_n$ to the dihedral subgroup $D_n$ are nonzero, and we establish uniform linear lower bounds outside…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be the group algebra $\mathbf{k}[S_n]$ of the $n$-th symmetric group $S_n$ over a commutative ring $\mathbf{k}$. For any two subsets $A$ and $B$ of $[n]$, we define the elements \[ \nabla_{B,A}:=\sum_{\substack{w\in…

We give a new expression for the expected number of inversions in the product of n random adjacent transpositions in the symmetric group S_{m+1}. We then derive from this expression the asymptotic behaviour of this number when n scales with…

We study systems of polynomial equations in several classes of finitely generated rings and algebras. For each ring $R$ (or algebra) in one of these classes we obtain an interpretation by systems of equations of a ring of integers $O$ of a…

We study the ring of quasisymmetric polynomials in $n$ anticommuting (fermionic) variables. Let $R_n$ denote the polynomials in $n$ anticommuting variables. The main results of this paper show the following interesting facts about…

We study permutation polynomials through the device of the \emph{polypermutation group} of an associative ring $R$, denoted by ${\rm Pgr}(R)$. We derive some basic properties and compute the cardinality of ${\rm Pgr}(\mathbb{Z}/p^k)$ when…

The goal of this paper is to lay the foundations for a combinatorial study, via orthogonal functions and intertwining operators, of category O for the rational Cherednik algebra of type G(r,p,n). As a first application, we give a…

Polynomial representations of general linear groups and modules over Schur algebras are compared. We work over an arbitrary commutative ring and show that Schur-Weyl duality is the key for an equivalence between both categories.

The multi-variable Schmidt polynomials are defined by $$ S_n^{(r)}(x_0,\ldots,x_n):=\sum_{k=0}^n {n+k \choose 2k}^{r}{2k\choose k} x_k. $$ We prove that, for any positive integers $m$, $n$, $r$, and $\varepsilon=\pm 1$, all the coefficients…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let $f \in K[x]$. The $m$-th {\it cyclic resultant} of $f$ is \[r_m = \text{Res}(f,x^m-1).\] A generic monic polynomial is determined by its full sequence of cyclic…

Fischer provided a new type of binomial determinant for the number of alternating sign matrices involving the third root of unity. In this paper we prove that her formula, when replacing the third root of unity by an indeterminate $q$, is…

We perform certain alternating binomial summations with parameters that occur in the analysis of algorithms. A combination of integral and special function and special number representations is used. The results are sufficiently general to…

The main purpose of this paper is to show that the mixed Hodge polynomial of the ``space of equations'' for smooth complete intersections of given multidegree in $\mathbb{C} P^n$ is divisible by the mixed Hodge polynomial of the group…
